Fantastic collection! Great photos.

When you get some time, could you post a few more photos of your Mills bombs? I've been looking for a No.23 to add to my collection, they're getting harder & harder to find on this side of the pond. Short of the real deal, a good photo is the next best thing.

Cheers,
Brad

hello, Craig, nice item as I've said before.
you should change that fuze (postwar production) against a contemporary blue-capped "Brennznder 39" to get a real complete display.

The lever marked B&B is from a WW1 Mills 23 Mk III or Mills 36 lever that has been cut about. You need to change that.
